Handbook Of Federal World War Agencies And Their Records 1917 1921 PDF Download

Excerpt from Handbook of Federal World War Agencies and Their Records, 1917-1921 This Handbook was planned in the spring of NM by the present writer, who was then serving as Director of Research and Publications, with the assistance of members of his office staff; and its prepara tion was approved by the Archivist of the United States, R. D. W. Connor, on June 7, 19141. Since January 1, 19142, the responsibility for continued planning and supervision of the project has rested on Oliver W. Holmes, Director of Research and Records Description. Carl L. Lokke assisted the successive Directors in planning and ad ministering the project, and he and Marion L. Rice did most of the work of coordinating, editing, and supplementing the material sub mitted by the compilers. The preparation of drafts of the individual articles, however, was in large measure the work of members of the staffs of the records divisions who were familiar with the records of the agencies they were describing or who because of interests and training possessed special competencies in certain fields. Many of them are now in the amed forces or have transferred to other Govern ment agencies. The names of all compilers, including those who as sisted in the work of editing, are listed on the following page.
